PROPOSER’S NOTES

UNIT ABBREVIATIONS: L.S. = LUMP SUM

1. ALL prospective Proposers must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) www.sam.gov .

2. AWARD of all Base Items will be made to one offeror. Offerors must submit a price on all items in the Pricing Schedule to be eligible for award.

3. ARITHMETIC DISCREPANCIES:

(a) For the purpose of initial evaluation of offers, the following will be utilized in the resolving arithmetic discrepancies found on the face of bidding schedule as submitted by the offeror:

(1) Obviously misplaced decimal points will be corrected;

(2) Discrepancy between unit price and extended price, the unit price shall govern, and in a discrepancy between the sum of extended prices and the stated total for the base or optional items, the sum of the extended prices will govern;

(3) Apparent errors in extension of unit prices will be corrected;

(4) Apparent errors in addition of lump-sum and extended prices will be corrected.

(b) For the purposes of bid evaluation, the government will proceed on the assumption that the bidder intends his bid to be evaluated on basis of the unit prices, the totals arrived at by resolution of arithmetic discrepancies as provided above and the bid will be so reflected on the abstract of bids.

(c) These correction procedures shall not be used to resolve any ambiguity concerning which bid is low. (EFARS 52.214-5000)

4. The lump sum, “L.S.” line items above are not “estimated quantity” line items and therefore are not subject to the Variation in Quantity contract clause.

5. PROGRESS PAYMENT REQUESTS made by the Contractor pursuant to the provisions of

Contract Clause, PAYMENTS UNDER FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS, shall be submitted on ENG FORM 93 to the administration office as designated in Block 26, Standard Form 1442 Back, Solicitation, Offer and Award. ENG FORM 93 shall be submitted to that office on the 20th day of each month in appropriate form and certified. Photocopies of the form shall be furnished on that same date to the Corps of Engineers offices designated at the Pre-Construction Conference.

Section 00 22 00 ‐ 2

6. MANDATORY WORK STOPPAGES

(a) A mandatory work stoppage occurs whenever the Contractor is restricted from working a full workday and is unable to reallocate work forces to other locations. All costs associated with five (5) mandatory work stoppages must be included in the bid price. No additional compensation or extension to the Contract performance period will be given as a result of five

(5) mandatory work stoppages.

(1) In the event that the Contractor's work force is required to evacuate any part of the working area during working hours established by the Contractor for this contract, the Government will then make an adjustment under the clause entitled, FAR 52.242-14 SUSPENSION OF WORK, see Section 00 73 00. The Government's liability will be considered to be limited to reimbursement for loss of time of Contractor's employees and equipment which otherwise would have been employed on the job. The completion time for any part of the work will not be extended if the total number of working hours of work stoppage does not exceed 0.08 times the number of calendar days in the period between the date of notice to proceed and the specified completion date. In the event the Contractor is required to evacuate the area in excess of the time specified above, the completion times will be adjusted.

(b) The Contractor may be required, without advance notice, to move work to a different location. The Contractor shall be prepared to increase or decrease work forces with appropriate trades to perform work in the relocated work areas at no additional cost to the Government.

(c) The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer when a mandatory work stoppage occurs for recording purposes. Otherwise, the work stoppage will not be credited to the Contractor.

7. The Contract Clause 52.232-27, “Prompt Payment for Construction Contracts” requires that the name and address of the contractor official, to whom payment is to be sent, be the same as that in the contract or in a proper Notice of Assignment.

8. If a modification to a bid based on unit prices is submitted, which provides for a lump sum adjustment to the total estimated cost, the application of the lump sum adjustment to each unit price in the bid schedule must be stated. If it is not stated, the offeror agrees that the lump sum adjustment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to every unit price in the bid schedule.

9. Principal Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer who signs this contract will be the

Principal Contracting Officer for this contract. However, any Contracting Officer assigned to

Section 00 22 00 ‐ 3 the Los Angeles District, contracting within his authority, may take formal action on this contract when the Principal Contracting Officer is unavailable and the action needs to be taken.

10. Amounts and prices shall be indicated in either words or figures, NOT BOTH.

11. The offeror’s prices MUST BE FIRM.

12. Offeror is cautioned to check his Price Schedule carefully prior to submission. If the Price

Schedule contains unit prices, they should be round off to the second decimal point only NOT

EXTENDED FURTHER.

13. EVALUATION: The Government intends to issue a contract resulting from the Request for

Proposal (RFP) to the responsible Offeror whose proposal represents the Best Value to the Government by using the Trade Off Procedures as described in Sections 00 21 16 and 00 22 16. The award decision will be based on a comparative assessment in proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation.

14. The Offeror shall distribute his indirect costs (overhead, profit, bond, etc.,) over all items in the Price Schedule. The Government will review submitted Price Schedule for any unbalancing of the items. Any submitted Price Schedule determined to be unbalanced may cause the offeror to be ineligible for contract award.

15. Payment of Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is the mandatory method of payment. The

Contractors attention is directed to Contract Clause No. 52.232-33 "Mandatory Information for Electronic Funds Transfer" located in Section 00 70 00.

16. The time stated for completion shall include final clean-up of the premises. Refer to Section

00 73 00, Contract Clause No. FAR 52.211-10, “Commencement, Prosecution and Completion of Work.”

17. PLEASE NOTE: The Contractor agrees to attend any Post Award conference convened by the contracting activity or contract administration in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 42.5.0

18. CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS. In accordance with the provisions of

Subpart 36.201(Evaluation of Contractor Performance) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), construction contractor’s performance shall be evaluated throughout the performance of the contract. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) follows the procedures outlined in Engineering Regulation 415-1-17 to fulfill this FAR requirement. For construction contracts awarded at or above $650,000.00, the USACE will evaluate contractor’s performance and prepare a performance report using the Construction Contractor Appraisal Support System (CCASS), which is now a web-based system. After an evaluation (interim or final) is written up by the USACE, the contractor will have the ability to access, review and comment on the evaluation for a period of 30 days. Accessing and using CCASS requires specific software, called PKI certification, which is installed on the user’s computer. The certification is a Department of Defense requirement and was implemented to

Section 00 22 00 ‐ 4 provide security in electronic transactions. The certification software could cost approximately $110 - $125 per certificate per year and is purchased from an External Certificate Authorities (ECA) vendor. Current information about the PKI certification process and for contacting vendors can be found on the web site: http://www.cpars.gov/. If the Contractor wishes to participate in the performance evaluation process, access to CCASS and PKI certification is the sole responsibility of the Contractor.

19. PLEASE NOTE: PROSPECTIVE OFFERORS SHOULD SUBMIT CONTRACTING AND

TECHNICAL INQUIRIES AND QUESTIONS RELATING TO PROPOSAL

20. The Offeror shall acknowledge that it understands the contract requirements for sustainable construction and that the final project will achieve a minimum LEED Silver certification rating prior to project closeout. The Government is not striving for any higher rating than silver. If the offeror proposes a higher LEED rating than silver, the proposal shall describe whether or not it involves additional costs and clearly indicate if such costs would detract from other factors herein, such as functionality, quality of materials, systems, and site work, etc.

52.204-16 COMMERCIAL AND GOVERNMENT ENTITY CODE REPORTING (JUL 2016)

(a) Definition. As used in this provision--

SECTION 00 21 16 - 2

Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code means—

(1) An identifier assigned to entities located in the United States or its outlying areas by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch to identify a commercial or government entity; or

(2) An identifier assigned by a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) to entities located outside the United States and its outlying areas that the DLA Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch records and maintains in the CAGE master file. This type of code is known as a NATO CAGE (NCAGE) code.

(b) The Offeror shall enter its CAGE code in its offer with its name and address or otherwise include it prominently in its proposal. The CAGE code entered must be for that name and address.

Enter ``CAGE'' before the number. The CAGE code is required prior to award.

(c) CAGE codes may be obtained via--

(1) Registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at www.sam.gov. If the Offeror is located in the United States or its outlying areas and does not already have a CAGE code assigned, the DLA Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch will assign a CAGE code as a part of the SAM registration process. SAM registrants located outside the United States and its outlying areas shall obtain a NCAGE code prior to registration in SAM (see paragraph (c)(3) of this provision).

(2) The DLA Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch. If registration in SAM is not required for the subject procurement, and the offeror does not otherwise register in SAM, an offeror located in the United States or its outlying areas may request that a CAGE code be assigned by submitting a request at https://cage.dla.mil.

(3) The appropriate country codification bureau. Entities located outside the United States and its outlying areas may obtain an NCAGE code by contacting the Codification Bureau in the foreign entity's country if that country is a member of NATO or a sponsored nation. NCAGE codes may be obtained from the NSPA at https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/scage/CageList.aspx if the foreign entity's country is not a member of NATO or a sponsored nation. Points of contact for codification bureaus, as well as additional information on obtaining NCAGE codes, are available at http://www.nato.int/structur/AC/135/main/links/contacts.htm.

(d) Additional guidance for establishing and maintaining CAGE codes is available at https://cage.dla.mil.

(e) When a CAGE Code is required for the immediate owner and/or the highest-level owner by 52.204-17 or 52.212-3(p), the Offeror shall obtain the respective CAGE Code from that entity to supply the CAGE Code to the Government.

(f) Do not delay submission of the offer pending receipt of a

SECTION 00 21 16 - 3

CAGE code.

52.215-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMPETITIVE ACQUISITION (JAN 2017)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--

“Discussions” are negotiations that occur after establishment of the competitive range that may, at the Contracting Officer's discretion, result in the offeror being allowed to revise its proposal.

“In writing or written” means any worded or numbered expression which can be read, reproduced, and later communicated, and includes electronically transmitted and stored information.

“Proposal modification” is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation's closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.

“Proposal revision” is a change to a proposal made after the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a Contracting Officer as the result of negotiations.

“Time”, if stated as a number of days, is calculated using calendar days, unless otherwise specified, and will include Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. However, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the period shall include the next working day.

(b) Amendments to solicitations. If this solicitation is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this solicitation by the date and time specified in the amendment(s).

(c) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals.

(i) The solicitation number;

(ii) me, address, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the offeror (and electronic address if available);

(3) Submission, modification, or revision, of proposals.

(i) Offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any modifications, or revisions, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that proposal or revision is due.

(ii)(A) Any proposal, modification, or revision received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(1) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals; or

(2) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(3) It is the only proposal received.

(B) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(iii) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the proposal wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(iv) ) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received at the office designated for receipt of proposals by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt of proposals will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(v) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before award. Oral proposals in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile proposals, proposals may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before award, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.215-5, Facsimile Proposals.

SECTION 00 21 16 - 6

Proposals may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or an authorized representative, if the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the proposal before award.

(4) Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, the offeror may propose to provide any item or combination of items.

(5) Offerors shall submit proposals in response to this solicitation in English, unless otherwise permitted by the solicitation, and in U.S. dollars, unless the provision at FAR 52.225-17, Evaluation of Foreign Currency Offers, is included in the solicitation.

(6) Offerors may submit modifications to their proposals at any time before the solicitation closing date and time, and may submit modifications in response to an amendment, or to correct a mistake at any time before award.

(7) Offerors may submit revised proposals only if requested or allowed by the Contracting Officer.

(8) Proposals may be withdrawn at any time before award. Withdrawals are effective upon receipt of notice by the Contracting Officer.

(d) Offer expiration date. Proposals in response to this solicitation will be valid for the number of days specified on the solicitation cover sheet (unless a different period is proposed by the offeror).

(e) Restriction on disclosure and use of data. Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall--

(1) Mark the title page with the following legend: This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed--in whole or in part--for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of--or in connection with-- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and

(2) Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend: Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.

(f) Contract award.

(1) The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal(s) represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and subfactors in the solicitation.

SECTION 00 21 16 - 7

(2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government's interest.

(3) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.

(4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint.

The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

(5) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.

(6) The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government's best interest to do so.

(7) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government.

(8) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.

(10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(11) If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(i) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror's offer.

(ii) ll evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and the debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

SECTION 00 21 16 - 8

(iii) The overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(iv) A summary of the rationale for award.

(v) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(vi) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.
